R. G.. DUNNs Trade Review says:
"Panics abroad and strikes at home have
tested the strength Of all markets dar-

markets have shown unexpected stesdi-
ness. Probably grain would have risen
more had not the great sirikes exerted
restraining influence In hinderlng

prices are barely steady. Iron Is helped
by q revival in ship building and ls ad-

"The consumption Of iron last year
for the first time exceeds that of Great
Britain, being 6.195, ,494 tons, against
5.405, TAB tons In Great Britain. The fg-

THE Plain Dealer favors the Inter
State Commerce measure and does not
approve Of Senator Psyne's vote against.
The Plain Dealer also differs with the
Senator as to expending two hundred
millions without delay. Dynamite tor
pedO bombs with guns that will throw
some 400 pounds of dynamite will make
hostile irOnclads careful in approaching
our harbors.
IrOnclads are not proof against dyna'
mite properly placed. We trust there
fore that our Congress will not do any
thing foolish and throw away few
hundred millions without regard to
utility. Money has been squandered
and the public fieeced long enough. Let
care and economy be now the rule.

COMMISSIONER LAIBLIN is q singular
politic4l contortiOnlst. A few weeks
ago he fired a resolution at a meeting
Of the Board of Commissioners submit
ting the question of new InArmary to
vote Of the people. The other two
members refused to act upon 1t as 1t
was mere resolution assigning no
reasons whatever.
Accordingly, Commissioner Schmsch-
tenbergsr offered the preamble and
resolution published in the DEMOCRAT
Oh Saturday last, giving full and salts
factory reasons. Mr.. Laiblln was In a
qusndery. Here was hls own resOlu-
tiOn with q whereas, and Mr., L. did not
like the wheresses and 80 opposed
them. He did not want the reasons
given at all. What singular specimen
of a Commissioner
But 1t low seems by Mr.. Laiblin'spub
lished interview In the Repository that
he thinks q new IR6rmary unnecessary.
Why then did he offer resolution to
submit the matter 10 vote? Why did
he not say, at Is not necessary, and
hence no vote is needed"2 We presume
Mr.. Laiblin did not think new insane
department was Necessary, but the CJurt
of Common Pleas did, ard ordered the
Commissioners to build it.
1t will take more Interviews to ex.
plain TO the satisfaction of good ciLlz9ns,
Mr., Laibfn's tortuosities, snd tactics.
They will not bear scrutiny; and even
the Repository in December expressed
its disgust at their own sweet Commits

COMMISSIONER G. F. LAIBLIN talks
elaborately In the Repository on an In
frmary to cost $4,000. even giving the
annual interest on that sum, etc, etc.
Mr.. Laiblin no doubt knows also how
to calculate the tax in Canton on $1O,-
600, more or less, and the Importance of
escaping taxation on that amount. He
went into no calculation of this kind,
however, Notwithstanding his expert.
ence.
Mr. Lsiblln does not inform US who
proposes a $l50000 lnflrmary; .pecifies
no action of the Commissioners looking
thereto. No doubt, the Commissioner
who would give cut job Of stone work
at 81 50a perch, when there was bid
in to do it for 81 SO, might run up an
infmary frightfully If he had the chance.
1t is proper to say that Alonz0 Smith
and Jacob schmachtenberger are not
that kind.
The next time Mr.. Laiblin has him
self interviewed let him extend his OBJ
servatiOns and calculations go as to take
in some ofthese other interesting points.
The public would no doubt relish an
honest explanation Of these we'll known
facts. Let this learned man quit the

tion and attend to realities. 1t Is we'll

The Repository claims to favor a new
IDfrmsry, thus admitting the need Of
1t. Commissioner Laiblin occupies the
same position as we understand. All
acquainted with the old dilspidation
understand it also.
Now what are these people afterp Do
they want their favorite architect to
have the jObp Do they want to run
the job, or have their friends do so,
which would be the same thingp Is
that what Is the matterp Or do they
want by falSehood and trickery to defeat
Schmschtenberger next fall and elect
their Sheriff sgainp
There Is q scheme somewhere un-
doubtedly. The Repository csrps and
misrepresents. Mr.. Laiblin is playing
1t ins-or thinks he ls. The game last
fall was to defeat AIonzo Smith for re-
election, but Mr.. Smith had S54 majority.
The same tricksters are now trying to
shape things 80 as to defeat Jacob
schmschtenberger for re.electlon next
fall. Well, we shall see how this twain
make out next time.

daintily as lady would twist her cam
bric handkerchief, and thursts it up
ward and inward into his mouth with
daintiness which is incompatible. They
drink in pairs. These mountains Of
flesh march along to the big tank with a
stately dignity and decorum which con-
veys the idea that they realize they are
the biggest things in the flesh. They
are in no hurry about drinking either.
Everything in the neighborhood OF the
tank must be touched; even the hydrant
is carefully examined by the sensitive
trunk. The ordinary everyday ele-
phant takes snifter of two gallons al
first, and keeps on repeating the dose
until he is outside of from eight to ten
bucketfuls. Then he goes back TO his
place among his twenty-nine compan-
ions, and resumes his hay, il it is a hay
day; if not he eats an occasional cab
bage, or carrot, CT Il half bushel OF po-
tatoes, as the case may be. One old
veteran never drinks from the tank. He
wants his drink freshly tapped, and so
he turns on the water cock, and drinks
from the spigot.
On Sunday all the animals fast, not
from choice, but from necessity. This
fast is regarded as physiological ne
cessity by the keepers, and is rc!igiously
observed.
"And they know when Sunday comes
just as well as you do said one OF the
keepers. You'd natcherelly think
they'd be ravenous on Monday morning |;
but that's just where ye're off. They
hain't nothing of the kind. And that
goes to show us fellers knows our Susi-
ness"
Another curious feature OF the me-
nagerie is the camels. They chew their
hay with curious sidelong motion Of
the jaw. Their split upper lip and pro-
truding teeth give them peculiarly
sinister appearance.
The two-headed COW breathes and
smells with both heads, but her feeding
is confined to one. The sacred Burmese
cattle eat common everyday hay like
their American contemporary, and court
a gentle scratching between the eyes.
Straw, hay, bran, cabbage, carrots, all

oceros with seemingly eq ual satisfac-

Punishment and the sentence read: "To

and fight his last fight with coyotes and
wolves and die" He watched the herd
grow fainter as il wandered farther away
ard then turned his gaze in the opposite
di''ciion. Feeling his defeat keenly,
without friend in the world, covered
with blood and disgrace, the poor old
brute limped slowly and sadly from the
spot. He dared not return to the herd
for the cows will gore defeated bull

across the plains alone and disgraced, a
beaten champion, sorely wounded and
about to die, until he was lost to view
in the distance and dust of the prairie.

Would We Return |!

Would we return
II once the gates which close upon the past
Were opened wide for us and II the dear
Remembered pathway stretched before us
clear
To lead us back to youths lost land at last.
Whereon lifes April shadows lightly cast
Recalled the old sweet days OF childish fear
With all their faded hopes and brought anear
The far-off streams in which our skies were
glassed;
Did these lost dreams which wake the souls
sad yearning
But live once more and waited our returning,
Would we return?
Would we return
II loves enchantment held the heart no
more
pain,
The fond distress, the lavish tears-but vain !;
Had cooled the hearts hot wounds amidst
the roar
Ofmountain gales, or, on some alien shore,
Worn out the souls long anguish and had
slain
At last the dragon of despair-it then the
train
Of vanished years came back and, as Of
yore,
The same voice called, and with soft eyes be
quilting,
Our lost love beckoned, through times gray
veil smiling,
Would We return?
Would we return
Once we had crossed to deaths unlovely
land
And trod the bloomless ways among the
dead
Lone and unhappy; after years had fled
With twilight wings along the glimmering
strand,
II then-an angel came with outstretched
hand
To lead us back, and we recalled In dread
How soon the tears that once for us are shed
May flow for others-how like words in
sand
Our memory fades saway-how oft our waking
Might vex the living with the dead hearts
breaking,
Would we return
Would we return
